The day to day events of a K-8 Librarian and a lover of cooking , baking, and everything homemade : ) I decided to start blogging again to give me something to look back on to see what I did i my classroom and also a way of recording of my experiments in the kitchen. Thanks for reading my blog! Warning: My love of LSU sports may alter some of my entries; if that offends you, I am terribly sorry (Geaux Tigers : ) ).

Today, I am looking back at some of my creations from the 2012- 2013 school year! I really got into decorating this school year! This post will look at some of my decor and the famed Read Across America Day!!!

Each 9 weeks had a theme this year for AR, so each 9 weeks, the library got a makeover!!

1st 9 weeks theme was "Go for the Goal," and I got to put my Michael Phelps obsession on display :)

Wall Display- their names went on a star when they reached their goal.

2nd 9 weeks we had a popcorn theme, "Pop Open a Good Book and Meet Your Goal."

Their name went on a piece of popcorn when they met their goal.

Christmas

I got busy during Christmas! Got rid of all of the AR decor and went Christmas CRAZY!

The right is my version of the book tree I found on pinterest (on the left).

This is when I decided to get Dr. Seuss CRAZY!

A wreath I made for the front office!

The side entrance was turned into a gingerbread house!

Read Across America Day 2013 :)

We had a great day! Our theme was "Reading is Our Thing."

We had guest speakers, activities, special visitors, a themed snack section, and a basketball game!
